A cool way to spend your 26th birthday is at work all day and then top it off with a 'load-your-buggy, buy-all-those-I-usually-forget-kinda-items' grocery shopping trip. Self-pity? Hardly. It was actually a great day. Work was work but excitingly, every time I needed a little pick me up, I had another Facebook notice wishing me a happy birthday. I probably checked FB 26 times today and not once did it let me down. Therefore work = manageable today!
I get home with the intentions of indulging in a pricey bottle of wine chilled in the fridge with Bo while thoughtfully chattering over a fabulous Italian dinner...no...a handful of sunflower seeds and a Coke Zero. Equally as divine right? Bo had bball tonight and I knew if I didn't get my grocery shopping in for the week I was toast for lunches. Who am I kidding, we were out of bread too so I wouldn't be having any toast for lunch either.
Caught a TiVo rerun while sorting through my coupons. Don't judge. Headed to the store for one of those trips that included the purchase of items such as Swiffer refills, deodorant, muffin mix, oh, and pantyliners - for which my coupon was not scanning and the cashier (who might I add was a girl and should have understood the unspoken discreetness required when making those purchases) had to ask her cashier neighbor why it wouldn't go through. Seriously lady, I'll forego my 50 cents to spare the embarrassment, just give my my receipt so I can get out of here.
Saved a whooping $17 with my coupons thankyouverymuch! Don't knock it til you try it. Bo was home by this time and we finished off the night with TiVo and self-serve straight out of the Blue Bell half gallon of Pralines and Cream.
Happy birthday to me. :-)
